Abstract:
|
The paper investigates the relationship between human capital characteristics and firm performance
in engineering consulting. Because general experience, firm-specific human capital and diversity
carry specific costs and benefits we hypothesize curvilinear (taking inverted U-shapes) relations to
firm performance. We find little effect of general experience and firm-specific human capital, but
the findings give some support for the curvilinear relation between performance and human capital
diversity. |
